The nurse using therapeutic communication asks the client what he would like to talk about. This is an example of which of the following?

A. Encouraging expression helps the client share thoughts and feelings more deeply but is not demonstrated by simply asking what they want to discuss. B. Focusing is directing the conversation to a specific topic when the client is vague or scattered. C. Broad opening allows the client to take the lead in the conversation by deciding what to talk about, which is exactly what the nurse is doing here. D. Offering self involves making oneself available to the client (e.g., “I’ll sit with you awhile”), not opening the conversation.
